Video: ‘Skyrim’ Sizzle Reel Is One Week Of Amazing Additions.
[Caff Edit: First video was taken down. Pratfalls of queuing posts! Added new video, jump to 21:25]
When the motherfuckers at Bethesda were done putting the wraps on Skyrim, they were given a task: spend one week doing whatever they want, putting whatever they want in the day. The results? Pure awesomeness. Dragon mounts. Building your own home. Pitch black dungeons. Adoption. Seasonal foliage. Plus more. They’re noncommital as to whether any of it will actually make the game, but man. To dream.

We rejoin Justified with Devil and a man named Tanner having a conversation about a meeting. Quickly its revealed that Quarles is the man Devil is here to meet. Quarles is working his way through the local thugs, so it was only a matter of time he got to Devil. Quarles offers Devil a fast track to the big time.
I’ll give Quarles his due. The man can talk. He sells Devil on the concept of killing Boyd faster than you can blink. Fathers in the greater Lexington area, watch your daughters, Quarles is in town and he’s about to charm the panties off them.
‘Skyrim’ Has Shipped Over 10 Million Units, Average PC Playtime Is 75 Hours. Hell Yeah.
Maybe I’m losing it, but I consider Skyrim rather special. What may have previously been considered only a dorky fantasy game thwacked the gaming cultural consciousness over the winter, ripping the season away from Battlefield Warfare: Covert Ops for the first time in years. It generated memes, produced sprawling personal stories, and was fun as fuck. So I love hearing monuments to its success.
Marvel Announces ‘Avengers Assemble’, Making It The 933rd Avengers Title.

Making all too much corporate sense, Marvel has announced BMB will be heading up a new title in some wonderful cross-medium synergy.
